U.K. flight training or EFT??
Hi
I am currently considering where to go in the US to do a JAA PPL.
I have tried searching for U.K. flight training on here but couldn't find anything (due to UK being too small a search criteria for the search engine!). So if anyone has been to this school (either in Long Beach or Lancaster) and has any comments on the people, training, housing etc then please reply or pm me. From the website it looks like they can issue both the approved JAA PPL license plus the FAA issued JAA PPL compliant license for a fairly reasonable price.
(Also which school is better Long Beach or Lancaster county??)
They also provide a Professional Pilot ab-initio programme which sounds quite interesting -- full ATPL with 500 hrs multi time experience included?? is this really true? has anyone actually been through this course and come out the other end with an unfrozen ATPL including 500 hrs multi time?
The other school I am considering is EFT. I have read some stuff on here about them and get the impression that the training and people are good but their accomodation is alledgedly sometimes not so good! Any comments from anyone who had been their recently would be appreciated. I think they run a CAA issued JAA PPL course, is this correct?
They also seem to do a similar professional ab initio programme with the 500 hrs multi time coming from instructing, so any comments from anyone currently or previously taking this course would be good. Is the instructing position guaranteed?? How quickly can you build the multi time when apparently there are not too many piper senecas available??
Both schools seem very professional and from what i've read the people working there know their stuff, so it will be a difficult decision either way.
Thanks for you time.
